Properties bordered by an alley will have their limbs picked up along that alley. Limbs will not be picked up along the street for these properties -- alleys only. Properties bordered by streets only will have theirs picked up along the curb as in the past. Limbs are to be placed along the curb in front of your property. Do not place in roadway.
The limb pick up is limited to City limits only. This will be one pass only in an area. Please have your limbs out ready for pick up by 7 a.m. the first day of pick up that month so you will not be missed. The City reserves the right to refuse pick-up for those properties it considers not fitting within the guidelines of the program.
• Bushes (without roots)
• Brush from fence-row clearing
• Trees and logs
• Branches left from contractor-provided tree removal
• Bushes with roots attached
